Ingredients You’ll Need

rolled oats – I used whole-grain old fashioned rolled oats for this recipe, just make sure they’re certified gluten-free if making GF overnight oats.
bananas – you’ll need 2 overripe bananas to mash and I love how they add a natural sweetness to these oats.
peanut butter – mixes healthy fats right in these oats and I also like to drizzle a little on top right before serving!
almond milk – I used unsweetened almond milk, but any type of milk will work in this recipe to soak the oats.
maple syrup – naturally sweetens the oats without using refined sugar. You could also use honey or other natural sweetener of choice.
vanilla extract – the perfect flavor boost!
chia seeds – I love adding chia seeds because not only do they absorb the liquid and add great texture, but they also add extra fiber, healthy fats and protein!
cinnamon – boost of flavor to really bring out that banana flavor.

How to Make Peanut Butter Banana Oats

The great thing about making overnight oats is that there is absolutely NO COOKING involved at all and you can easily make them in just 2 simple steps.

Mix the ingredients. In a bowl or mason jar, mix all of the ingredients together until well incorporated. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve and enjoy! This recipe makes 2 servings so divide the oats up into 2 bowls or jars and have fun with your toppings!

These oats taste great right out of the fridge cold, but heating up them in the microwave is another fun way to enjoy them! SO cozy and delicious, similar to warm banana bread. 10/10 recommend.

Let’s Talk Toppings!

Toppings and mix-ins are the best part about overnight oats! So many fun ways to get creative with your breakfast and really amp up the flavor. Here’s some of my favorite toppings to add to my oats:

Fresh or dried fruit – for this recipe I mixed in mashed bananas, but you could also add in extra banana slices or even some sliced strawberries, blueberries or raspberries.
Nut butter – we are using creamy peanut butter in these oats, but feel free to use any nut butter you prefer such as almond butter, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter.
Nuts and seeds – This adds a nice crunch to the oats and you can use peanuts, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, shredded coconut flakes, I mean there are so many options!
Granola – this is one of my favorite toppings to add because of the crunch and flavor it adds and I love using my super easy recipe for maple cinnamon granola which tastes amazing with these flavors.
Dollops – aside from nut butters, I’ve also topped my oats with a dollop of chia seed jam, homemade caramel sauce or you could even add a little Greek yogurt or whipped cream (now we’re getting into dessert territory and I’m not mad about it).
Chocolate – and because I’m not mad this can also be a delicious dessert, I sometimes like to add some nutrient-rich cacao nibs or my go-to chocolate chips that are low in sugar and carbs. I won’t judge if you drizzle in some melted chocolate either.

Punch up the protein in these overnight oats by swapping out one banana for 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, adding in a scoop of your favorite protein powder or even some cottage cheese!

Prepping and Storing

The great thing about these peanut butter overnight oats is that they can last for up to 4 to 5 days in your fridge which makes them perfect for meal prep! I like to mix everything together and store in a wide mouth mason jar which has an airtight, sealed lid. It makes the perfect serving and you can even double or triple the recipe if planning to enjoy this for the week. If the oats seem super thick after a few days, you can just add in a splash of milk right before serving and give a good stir.
